Many young athletes strive to snag a scholarship to a big American university,

but there are a lot of hoops to jump through to make it become a reality even

for those with the talent

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERWhitney Rowe was able to secure an athletic scholarship to an NCAA Div. I school in the United States despite Burnaby Mountain secondary school not having a track and fi eld team. But then she lost that scholarship because her math program didn’t meet NCAA standards.

NEW YORK – A few Burnaby fi refi ght-ers played road hockey in Times Square as rain pelted down just before Hurricane Irene’s full force was felt in New York City on Saturday night.

The 2011 World Police and Fire Games (WPFG) in New York offi cially started on Friday, but you wouldn’t have known it over the weekend. Strong winds and torrential rain shut down the city, empty-ing New York’s busiest streets, shutting down the subway system and cancelling all Broadway shows for the weekend. The storm forced 370,000 New Yorker’s to evacuate their homes and as many as 1.5 million lost power at the height of the storm.

“If you told me that I would come to New York and Times Square would be empty at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night, I would never have believed you,” said Burnaby Fire Captain Terry Bingley, who is coaching the Burnaby fi refi ghters hockey team.

Bingley, like many other fi refi ghters, took cover at the host hotel, the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, which general manager Michael Stengel said is one of the safest hotels in the city because of its bomb-proof glass and concrete and steel construction. During a security meeting in preparation for the hurricane, Stengel asked Bingley that all fi refi ghters be on

hand if needed in the event of an emer-gency.

While most Burnaby fi refi ghters stayed inside to brave the storm, there were a few who ventured into Times Square to join Vancouver fi refi ghters in an impromptu game of street hockey, said Bingley.

Over 17,000 athletes are currently visit-ing New York to participate in 60 sporting events. Five events, such as the road race, triathlon and dragon boat race were cancelled due to the weather. Dozens of sporting events have been rescheduled.

“It sucks, but the number one concern is people’s safety,” said Burnaby fi refi ghter Randy Ferrara.

This is the fi rst WPFG where events have been cancelled due to weather, disappointing athletes who had travelled from as far as Iceland to attend sporting events.

“In 26 years we have never had any sporting events cancelled,” said Mike Gra-ham, president of the WPFG delegation.

But the New York organizers are stress-ing that the games are much more than just a sporting competition. In an email sent to all athletes, the 2011 organizing committee encouraged athletes to enjoy the camaraderie and friendship that the WPFG brings to every host city, whether it’s on the fi eld or in the athlete’s village.

The 2009 Games were held throughout Metro Vancouver, with most of the events taking place in Burnaby where the organi-zation’s headquarters was based.

Stories by Mario BartelNEWSLEADER

Whitney Rowe was in the home stretch of fulfi lling her

dream of a fully-paid athletic scholarship to an American university when she was tripped up by a decision she’d made in Grade 10.

Rowe fi nished second in the 100 metres at the 2010 B.C. high school track and fi eld championships at Swangard Stadium, even though her school, Burnaby Mountain, didn’t have a track team. She trained on the grass fi eld beside the school and, when rain made the lawn too slippery, in the gym. She worked out with the Burnaby Striders track club and she sought coach-ing from Robert Esmie, a former Canadian Olympian.

As her training paid off in results, she started to think about trying to get an athletic scholarship. She researched schools online, checking out their track programs, comparing her own times to their athletes. She emailed coaches and kept in touch with those who replied.

In November, she got a call from one of those coaches, Simon Hodnett, offering a full track scholarship to Long Island University, a Division I school with a cam-pus in Brooklyn, N.Y.

“Everything was working out perfectly,” says Rowe. “It didn’t seem real.”

It wasn’t.A month later she got a

call from Hodnett advising her that while her academic qualifi cations were good enough for admission to the school, they didn’t meet National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) require-ments for a scholarship to a Division I school. To be able to compete for the school’s

track team, she’d have to upgrade her math.

Marks weren’t the issue; Rowe says she was an aver-age student. But in Grade 10, she’d elected to stream into math essentials, good enough to graduate high school, but not an advanced program like math principals which is a prerequisite for many university programs.

Not a problem, she’d thought at the time, because she aspired to become a social worker, or work with young children, neither of which required math anyway.

Rowe was devastated.“That’s like your passion

going down the drain in front of you,” she says. “I needed to get a scholarship.”

More than talent required

An athletic scholarship is the dream of many student athletes. Excellent coaching and facilities, training with and competing against other elite athletes can help them achieve their sporting poten-tial. A fully-paid education can set them up for a career and save their families a lot of money.

“Getting a full scholarship to a U.S. school is massive,” says New Westminster sec-ondary football coach Farhan Lalji, who’s sent more than 40 of his players on to Ameri-can college programs in his 23 years on the sidelines.

But getting an offer for an athletic scholarship to an American university takes more than talent and top results. It takes a lot of work and attention to detail that must start as soon as a stu-dent starts high school.

As a former athlete who attended the University of Hawaii on a football schol-arship, Doug Woodward knew his daughter Krista had potential to follow his footsteps across the border. She’d been a top player in soccer, basketball and softball since Grade 3, but as she entered high school he encouraged her to focus her energy. He steered her to javelin as a way to strengthen her throwing arm for softball.

IMPORTER ISSUES RECALLBurnaby importer Indianlife Food

Corporation is voluntarily recalling Indianlife brand Plain Papadums, after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a warning that packages were improperly labelled.

The papadums contain gluten which is not declared on the label. The affected products were sold in 120 g packages containing 12 papadums. There has been one reported illness associated with the product, which may cause a serious reaction in people with sensitivities to gluten. Info: 1-800-442-2342 or http://tinyurl.com/3psz2up.

SUSPICIOUS PACKAGEA report of a suspicious

package found on the shoreline of Burrard Inlet Saturday afternoon led to the RCMP bomb squad being brought in and the area in North Burnaby where the item was found being isolated.

It turned out to be a pressure release valve from a nearby oil refi nery, say Burnaby RCMP.

SYNTHETIC DRUG LAB SHUT DOWNBurnaby RCMP arrested one man after shutting down a synthetic

drug lab in the 8300-block of 12th Avenue on the weekend.Mounties received a call of a suspicious odour which led to the

discovery of the drug lab Saturday. Burnaby Fire Department and BC Ambulance crews were at the scene to help with decontaminating the suspect and investigating offi cers as such drug labs, and the chemicals utilized there, are extremely hazardous. No one was injured and the male suspect remains in custody.

The safe dismantling of the lab continued throughout the day Sunday. Those living in neighbouring homes were evacuated but were able to return home Saturday.

The investigation is ongoing, Burnaby RCMP say, and it was not known at the time what drug or drugs were being produced at the lab.

Seeking scholarships

PLEASE SEE ATHLETES ON A14

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERKrista Woodward has been able to parlay her athletic scholarship to the University of Georgia into a career related to her degree in Fisheries and Aquaculture, and she’s still competing, working towards the Canadian Olympic qualifying standard in javelin for London 2012.

Athletics big bizAthletics is big business at American universities,

especially those in Division I of the NCAA. Some schools spend up to $145 million a year on their sports programs.

Sports generate revenue by fi lling stadiums and arenas with loyal, ticket-buying fans and garner prestige that attracts tuition-paying students who eventually become generous donating alumni.

Krista Woodward, who graduated from the University of Georgia in 2007, says her javelin scholarship was worth $25 to $30,000 a year, at a time when the U.S. dollar was worth $1.40 Canadian. It covered the full cost of her schooling, her living expenses, books, equipment like spikes and $600 javelins, even her medical care when she had to miss a year of competition after she injured her elbow in the fi rst meet of her sophomore season. She got tutoring when she needed it, and she was able to study in a $10 million hall built especially for the school’s athletes.

“It takes you one minute to walk into their facilities and see they really like their athletes there,” says Wood-ward, who’s continued training on her own with the goal of making it to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

But with her scholarship came expectation. She had to produce results, both in the fi eld and in the classroom, because any lapse could have meant the end of her free ride.

“Your scholarship can get reduced if you’re not per-forming and it’s not due to injury,” says Woodward. “If you’re academically ineligible, then they can’t support you. You have to keep your performance up.”

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is getting to work dismantling the harmonized sales tax, a job that will take until March 2013 and add bil-lions to the province’s defi cit.

The HST was rejected by 54.73 per cent of voters who cast ballots, Elections BC reported Friday.

Premier Christy Clark vowed that the former provincial sales tax will be reinstated with the same exemptions that existed before July 2010. That means restaurant meals, haircuts and a variety of services will only be subject to the fi ve-per-cent federal goods and services tax, but the transition is expected to take a year and a half.

Referendum voting by constituency shows a split mainly along party lines. The strongest vote against the HST was more than 75 per cent in the NDP-held Surrey-Green Timbers and more than 72 per cent in Vancouver-Kingsway, the home constituency of NDP leader Adrian Dix.

A narrow majority of voters supported the tax in Abbotsford, Fort Langley-Aldergrove, Oak Bay-Gordon Head, Westside-Kelowna and other seats held by the B.C. Liberals. The strongest support for the HST was more than 64 per cent in West Vancouver-Capilano and 62 per cent in Vancouver-Quilchena, the seat held by Colin Hansen, the former fi nance minister who intro-duced the tax in 2009.

A smiling Dix welcomed the result Friday as a win for democracy. He said the B.C. economy has performed well for decades with a retail provincial sales tax and he is confi dent it can do so again.

Former premier Bill Vander Zalm told CBC television he is relieved that his two-year effort to kill the HST has succeeded. He said he will watch to see if the government introduces any other tax measures to recoup the revenue lost due to B.C. and Canada’s fi rst-ever successful initiative vote.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon has estimated that scrapping the HST will cost the province about $3 billion in the next few years. The B.C. government will have to borrow to pay back the $1.6 billion transition fund from the federal gov-ernment, with a payment schedule that will have to be negotiated with Ottawa.

Falcon said there will be pressure on B.C. to contain spending, but he still intends to meet his target of returning to a balanced budget by 2013-14.

The fi nance ministry projected that the HST would bring in an additional $600 million in revenues in each of the next two years, based on economic growth and extending the seven-per-cent provincial portion of the sales tax to a variety of services.

Another cost to the provincial budget will be re-establishing a provincial sales tax administra-tion and audit department. About 300 provincial tax collectors were transferred to the federal payroll when the HST took effect in July 2010.

Businesses will have to forgo input tax credits available under the HST, and convert cash reg-isters and accounting systems back to collecting the GST and PST separately.

Voters narrowly say no to tax

Burnaby resoundingly rejects keeping HSTBy Grant Granger

NEWSLEADER

Burnaby resoundingly rejected the HST, even more so than the rest of the province.

In results released Friday by Elections BC on the HST referendum, collectively, there were 47,306 (61.47 per cent) who voted to extin-guish the HST and 29,651 (38.53) to retain it in the city’s four ridings. Pro-vincially, 54.73 per cent voted yes and 45.27 no.

The largest margin of difference in the city came in Burnaby-Edmonds where 11,827, 64.55 per cent, chose to get rid of the HST while only 6,494 wanted to keep it.

Raj Chouhan, the riding’s MLA said his New Democratic Party is happy with the out-come.

“They now have clearly told this government what they were trying to shove down their throats was unacceptable. This was a very unfair tax,” said Chouhan.

He was not surprised at Burnaby-Edmonds having the 13th greatest support for extin-guishing the tax in the province because of the response he

received when he went door knocking.

“About 95 per cent of the people who I walked with were agreeing with me that it was unfair. They remembered how it was introduced because they were still angry the B.C. government lied before the

last election and said they weren’t going to introduce it, and shortly after the election it was introduced,” said Chouhan.

“If they try to reduce the number of exemp-tions they had before the HST people will not accept it. They will be very angry.”

The other NDP-held riding, Burnaby-Deer Lake, wasn’t far behind at 11,097 (62.62) to 6,625 (37.38). Burnaby-Lougheed had the largest support for retain-ing the HST where 8,016 (41.23 per cent) voted No while the Yes side had 11,426 supporters. In Burnaby North, the margin was 12,956 (60.34) to 8,516 (39.66).

“It’s a little bit disappoint-ing,” said Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee. “But now we have to look forward to moving for-ward to restore the old system. It may take some time. We will

follow the will of the vote.”Lee said there are some

issues to be worked out such as having to return the $1.6 billion Ottawa gave the province to make the switch, and how to deal with the loss of half a bil-lion dollars in annual revenue.

“It will be a challenge,” said Lee. “In the last year B.C.’s economy grew and so I believe we can handle it in the future.”

From a federal perspective, NDP MP Kennedy Stewart (Burnaby-Douglas), said the question remains whether the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will forgive the $1.6 billion, or a portion of it.

“It puts them in a diffi cult position,” said Stewart before boarding a plane to Toronto to attend the funeral of NDP leader Jack Layton on Satur-day. “If they do not forgive the $1.6 billion the voters in British Columbia will not look too favourably on the Conserva-tives.

“Harper and (former B.C. premier) Gordon Campbell foisted this tax on them, and we don’t think British Columbians should be on the hook for this.”

Members of Burnaby’s 2012 B.C. Seniors Games organizing committee recently returned from a fact-fi nding trip to the 2011 Games in the West Koote-nays and came away impressed by the volunteers’ hospitality.

Darlene Gering, president of the 2012 B.C. Seniors Games, led the group on a visit to the event which drew a total of 3,100 participants to the three host cities of Castlegar, Trail and Nelson.

“It was invaluable,” she said of what they learned.

While Burnaby expects to have an easier time recruit-ing volunteers due to Metro Vancouver’s larger population base, a number of the 2011 Games’ 1,800 volunteers set a high standard of hospitality, Gering said.

“They really tried to bend over backwards to accommo-date the seniors.”

In one instance, a visiting participant struck a deer with her car, damaging it.

“Luckily she was fi ne ... One of the volunteers actually took her home, gave her dinner and completely took care of her, which is just an amazing story of hospitality.”

In another case, when a participant’s fl ight was delayed, they arrived late in the evening past the check-in time at their hotel. By then, all the rooms were taken so the front desk clerk took the visitor home and let them stay at their house.

“So we have high standards there, but I’m sure we can do it,” she said with a laugh. “As our mayor says, we’re the small town in the big city, so we will strive to be that hospitable as well.”

In those three communities a number of facilities were built and improved to accommodate the Games. Burnaby already has great parks and rec infra-structure and won’t have the added complications of having three host municipalities and

the distance between them, she said.

Gering said the Games also had a signifi cant economic impact on the host towns with visitors spending money in restaurants, bars and shops.

Burnaby expects to have more participants, in excess of 4,000, with many coming from the Lower Mainland as well as from across the province. She noted there are 50,000 seniors in Burnaby alone.

The 25th annual B.C. Seniors Games will take place in Burnaby and neighbouring communities Aug. 21 to 25, 2012. The annual multi-sport event for adults aged 55 and over from across the province features more than two dozen events.

The rattled nerves and breathless news coverage brought on by the 5.8 earthquake that shook the northeast last week was enough to make any jaded Pacifi c Northwest-erner smile.

After all, we’ve been dreading the “big one” for decades. In fact, geologists have told us it’s inevitable. They just don’t know when.

The eastern earthquake was centered in Virginia, not far from Washington D.C. Bureaucrats in the city fl ed into the streets, monuments and memorials on the National Mall were closed. Spires on the National Cathedral cracked and chunks of stone tumbled to the ground.

The tremors were felt up and down the Atlantic seaboard, from South Carolina to Maine, and inland to Southern Ontario and Ohio. That means more than 15 million people felt the shaking. Even the Dow Jones stock index was affected, dropping 60 points shortly after the quake hit.

Of course, swaying offi ce towers, cracks in masonry and frayed nerves are small potatoes compared to what we’ve been told to expect. Geologists say we’re long overdue for an earthquake comparable to ones that destroyed coastal cities in Chile and fl attened much of northeastern Japan with a devastat-ing one-two punch of earthquake followed by a tsunami.

For most of us going about our day-to-day lives, that little nub of prognostication lies buried deep within our consciousness, surfacing only when we’re reminded of our apparent fate by earthquakes elsewhere. There’s not much we can do about the “big one” anyway, we reason, except hope we’re not in the wrong place when it hits.

But there are things we can do to help our chances of surviving a major earthquake, like assembling an emergency kit of food, water and fi rst aid supplies to get through the criti-cal early days of post-quake chaos.

Being prepared is the fi rst step to staying alive.

VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix couldn’t contain his glee at the result of the harmonized sales tax referendum.

He seemed positively giddy that the provincial budget will forgo $3 billion in revenue over the next few years, and clearly relishes the prospect of getting back to the legislature in October to resume his demands for more spending in every ministry of the B.C. government.

He can start soon, standing in passion-ate solidarity with B.C.’s 40,000 public school teachers as they strike to press their demands for huge increases in sal-ary and benefi ts that already exceed what most private sector workers will ever see.

Bill Vander Zalm was thrilled too, beaming that famous smile as he climbed in his long black Mercedes to resume his comfortable retirement. He never expected to be able to leave the province in a mess one more time, but fate has been kind to him. He probably still believes he has helped the poor, as he claimed in his nonsensical rants against the HST.

This is the “people’s victory” that Dix crowed about. B.C. and the rest of the country are enter-ing a perilous time where retired people outnum-ber the young and pension plans, private and public, grow increasingly fragile. And in classic

baby-boomer style, our political response is self-centred and unrealistic.

An effi cient tax system that ends the advantage given to services over goods, while raising rev-enue to lift up the poorest people, is now a dirty word. Any kind of meaningful tax reform will be

politically radioactive for years to come.Resource industries, the movie

business and other private sector job generators can now plan for a signifi cant B.C. disadvantage in 2013. Ontario can celebrate. Meanwhile, demand for government services to take care of the great grey blob that is my generation can only soar.

It’s not just old people outnumbering the young. I mentioned a while back that Canada has already passed another signifi cant milestone. Statistics Canada reported in May on the people fortunate

enough to have employer-supported pension plans in addition to government pension. And it turns out that 2010 was the fi rst year in the country’s history where more public sector workers enjoyed this benefi t than private sector workers.

Author Mark Steyn talks about this problem in relation to the troubles in Europe. He refers to the “Government Party,” which is the ever-growing public sector, and the “Dependency Party,” which is everyone on pensions and welfare. When those

two “parties” constitute a majority, they can force the government to satisfy their demands without regard to economic reality.

This is what has happened in Greece. It is very close to happening in other European countries, and today B.C. is a step closer to it.

When the verdict came in on the HST referen-dum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to rein-state the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years, and seemed to leave the door open to some minor modifi cations of the sales tax system.

Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be “disrespectful” to do anything other than bring back the post-war PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little boutique exemptions like bicycles and Toyota Priuses that have been attached by politicians over the years.

Self-employed business people can now look forward to collecting and remitting two separate taxes again.

There will be a cost to this “people’s victory.” It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both.

lettersTransLink ‘out of control’

TransLink is mismanaged and wildly out of control. According to their own fi nancial statement for 2010: revenues from transit fees were $413 million and expenditures $1.2 billion; and total revenue due to massive subsidies was $1.365 billion.

The concept of self-planning municipal community cities, where most people commute, bike, or even walk a relatively short distance to work and shopping, doesn’t fi t a cor-porate big box model for the society that some want. We have too many overpaid social engineers recklessly creating too much transportation infrastructure everywhere. They’re creating a costly and unmanageable all encompassing metropolis rather than economically sustainable self planning municipal community cities.

The schizophrenic combination of over-the-top social economic collectivism, economic interference coming out the butt of every Cana-dian central planning politburo com-mittee, and a corporate welfare state to make it all happen, is going to cost us more than just our money .

Thank you, JackThank you for your sense of

substance and style. Rolling up your sleeves to go to work for Canadian families, you always wore your political beliefs so proudly. You made orange the new black, yet you always kept the spotlight on the red Maple Leaf.

Thank you for that trademark moustache. It highlighted the optimistic smile, and strong upper lip, you carried with so much dignity from coast to coast to coast.

Thank you for bringing canes back in vogue. Your energy on the campaign trail left a generation half your age scrambling just to keep up. You always seemed to be a step ahead – on the ground, and more importantly for you, on the issues that truly matter.

Thank you for facing us in your highs and lows. You never shied away from a fi ght. Though, with you, it was never personal. You stood up time and again for the little guy. You were always in our corner. And, in the end, millions of us were in yours.

Layton’s vision not deadSince Jack Layton’s untimely

death on Aug. 22, there has been much commentary in the media that the NDP is now a rudderless ship and will founder on the rocks.

I disagree.Jack Layton was leader of the

Opposition for only 112 days yet he had a clear and compelling vision of what a better Canada could look like as well as a plan for achieving it.

It seems unfair that he was struck down before he had a chance to make it happen. But let’s remember that his vision did not die with him. He made sure of that.

For while Jack Layton was the modern embodiment of what the NDP stands for, he was also the pub-lic voice of countless Canadians.

If those of us, for whom he spoke, will now re-commit to our shared values and vow to strive on to make Canada “a country of greater equal-ity, justice, and opportunity”, then his death will have had the power to transcend his living leadership.

There is some of Jack’s character in all of us. May the memory of him remind us all of our potential.

celebrate democracy, we celebrate the defeat of the HST, we celebrate because we British Columbians have a voice and we have learned to make it be heard, we celebrate for making history by showing our government that if it behaves undemocratically, we can and will stand up and say, enough is enough, and more impor-tantly, will do something about it.

The government is now proclaim-ing to have Plan B in place. Hope-fully it’s a plan we can all agree to. If not, while I don’t believe in promot-ing too many referendums, as we all know fi nancially it’s not the best thing, we can and must continue with our fi ght toward fair treatment. Now, more then ever, I am a proud British Columbian.

Hydro should not import electricity

W.A.C. Bennett must be turning over in his grave at the prospect of BC Hydro relying on imported electricity to meet the energy needs of British Columbians. I’m sure that isn’t what Bennett had in mind when he created BC Hydro.

Right from the start, BC Hydro supplied made-in-B.C. electricity, and for the most part what BC Hydro has supplied to British Columbians ever since is renewable hydro energy envied the world over.

Bennett also made sure B.C. always had more electricity gen-erating capacity than we needed. Any electricity we didn’t need we exported, and the revenue generated by those exports was always to the monetary benefi t of the people of B.C.

Electricity self-suffi ciency was core to Bennett’s vision for B.C. and it’s a big part of what made this province great and economically prosperous. Why are we now head-ing in the opposite direction and walking straight toward dependence on imported electricity?

Allowing ourselves to become an electricity “have not” province is insane when we have so much energy potential within our own borders. Please tell me that all this talk about relying on imported electricity is just somebody’s idea of a sick joke.

TOYOTA INVESTS IN FUTURE

CROSSWORD

WE DOUBLE CHECK DOUBLE CHECK OUR INSPECTIONS WITH BCAA INSPECTIONS FOR YOUR

PEACE OF MIND!

Consumers have long operated under the presumption that “bigger is better,” which is often refl ected in the size of the vehicles on the road. However, future mandates on fuel economy could signifi -cantly increase the number of compact cars being bought and sold.

Toyota is already beginning to invest heavily in smaller vehicles. Compact cars were popular and prominently fea-tured attractions at auto shows through-out 2010 and into 2011.

Consumers who once leaned toward larger vehicles may now purchase com-pact cars thanks to escalating fuel costs and more eco-conscious consumerism. Compact hybrids have become trendy among the celebrity set, and many fans may choose to emulate their favorite A-listers. The “green” movement has certainly changed consumer perception of small cars.

Compact cars like the Toyota Prius could grow increasingly visible on the nation’s roadways thanks to future government regulations regarding fuel economy.

A Burnaby man has been arrested and charged in connection with the alleged violent assault and robbery of a security guard working in a residential tower in Vancouver on Aug. 4. John Alexander Thomas Stronach, 29, was arrested by Vancouver police in downtown Vancouver on Aug. 25. He was taken into custody without incident and has been charged with robbery, aggravated assault and uttering threats to cause bodily harm or death.


With this year’s free admission leading to unprecedented attendance, Burnaby Village Museum will be staying open on Saturdays through the end of October.

Normally, the museum closes for the season after Labour Day, when it holds its annual fall fair. But with the village marking its 40th anniver-sary this year, visitors had expressed an interest in fall hours, said the museum’s Nancy Stagg.

The change will work well with the Burnaby Farmers Market, which moved to the museum site this past spring and will continue operating on Saturdays until Oct. 29.

Admission will continue to be free as part of anniversary celebrations and the ice cream parlour, which has seen revenues rise signifi -cantly along with attendance and now offers an expanded menu, will be open.

The museum will still offer site tours for a $6 fee, including “From Field to Fork,” in which families get to explore the Love Farmhouse’s veg-

etable garden hands-on and leave with a packet of seeds. The last day for those tours is Oct. 22.

Museum staff are still determining whether the carousel can remain open the next two months of Saturdays, since September is when it normally shuts down for maintenance work. It’s not yet known whether that work can be done in sections to allow it to open those additional days but “we’re looking at our options to keep it open,” Stagg said.

Plans to vie for B.C. Conservative nomination in New Westminster


Former Burnaby-New Westminster MP Paul Forseth is dropping out of the Burnaby council race, barely a month after throwing his hat into the ring.

Forseth, a four-term MP who has represented the Reform Party, Canadian Alliance, and the Conservative party during his time in federal politics, is a New Westminster resident.

He now plans to seek the B.C. Conservative nomination for the provincial riding of New Westminster.

He said in an interview that over the past year he had been fi elding calls from the B.C. Conservatives asking him to run for that party in the next provincial election.

“The Team Burnaby option was a very kind invitation from two former political opponents, because both Lee Rankin and Garth Evans were federal Lib-eral candidates that ran against me at one time or another.”

But since securing the Team nomination, he’s received more calls that have convinced him the provincial Conservatives are a viable party to run with.

The party’s leader, John Cummins, is a former col-league at the federal level and it now has a viable riding asso-ciation with a member-ship in the Royal City. Forseth’s former federal opponent and the provincial riding’s incumbent, Dawn Black, also announced she would not be a candidate for the B.C. New Democrats in the next election.

“My worst fears would be the election of an NDP government because we’ve had that experi-ence in British Columbia before and it didn’t turn out too well in the end,” Forseth said.

“I’ve lived most of my life in New Westminster and I think I feel honour-bound to do my duty [in that city].”

He’ll still be rooting for Team

Burnaby from the sidelines.“I really wish Team Burnaby

well because what’s happening at city council is not really in the public interest,” he said,

referring to the Burnaby Citizens’ Association’s monopoly. “It’s not good for democracy and of course there’s no scrutiny or accountabil-ity.”

Reached on vacation in Oregon,

Team Burnaby council candi-date Lee Rankin said Forseth was interested in continuing to represent Burnaby since he had done so for 12 years as a Member of Parliament.

“When he mentioned he had been approached by the provincial Conservatives, we wish him well if that’s where his heart lies.”

Meanwhile, Rankin said, Team continues to work on fi nding candidates to fi ll its civic slate for mayor, city coun-cil and school board.

Old World pizzaAuthentic Italian pizza requires

the craft of an authentic Italian pizzaioli

Pizza dough

INGREDIENTS

4 cups Molino Caputo Tipo 00 fl our1 ½ cups, plus 2 tbsp water2 tsp salt1/2 tsp dry active yeast

METHOD

Mix the dough in a stand mixer, by hand or in a bread machine. If you are using a stand mixer, mix it slowly for two minutes, faster for fi ve minutes, and slow again for two minutes.Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until double. Punch it down and push out the air bubbles. Form the dough into a large ball, then cut it into three 275 gram equal pieces.Shape each piece of dough into a ball. Gently roll your dough into a ball, then stretch the top of the ball down and around the rest of the ball, until the outer layer wraps around the other side. Pinch the two ends together to make a smooth ball with a tight outer “skin.” Set your ball seam-side down where it can rest. Dust your pizza balls with fl our, and store them under a damp towel, in a proofi ng tray, or under plastic wrap. This will prevent the outside of the ball from drying out and creating a crust, and becoming diffi cult to work with. The top of the pizza ball should be soft and silky.Your pizza balls will need to rest for about an hour to become soft and elastic, so that they can be easily stretched into a thin crust pizza.

In more than 20 years in the restaurant business, Claudio Magagnin knows he can’t try to put one over on his customers.So when he decided to transform his Italian café of 13 years to a full-blown Italian restaurant with an extensive lunch and dinner menu, he knew he’d have to serve authentic food to keep his loyal customers, many of them from the Italian community in North Burnaby and nearby East Vancouver. He knew his old-world recipes for pasta would pass muster, but the North American take on pizza, piled high with toppings on a doughy crust sometimes fi lled with cheese and other enhancements would never fl y.He wanted to serve real Italian pizza with a thin crust and minimal toppings to let the fresh tomato sauce and hearty mozzarella fl avours shine through. And to achieve that, he needed to fi nd a real Italian pizzaioli.Fortunately, one found him.Daniele Nauli had had lunch at Magagnin’s Pasta Amore ristorante while he was visiting Burnaby from his home in the Venice area of Italy where he happened to be an experienced pizzaioli.Magagnin called him up and offered to bring him back to Canada as his pizza maker.Nauli, speaking through Magagnin as his translator, says the secret of real Italian pizza starts with the fl our he uses for the dough, then carries on to sourcing great mozzarella.“You have to really shop around for the ingredients,” says Nauli. “Good mozzarella has good fl avour and looks good when it melts.”Fortunately North Burnaby and nearby East Van are blessed with plenty of Italian delis and markets, so Nauli can get his hands on those authentic ingredients.The next step will be a brick oven, something Magagnin says is in the works.Meanwhile, Nauli is keeping his pizzas real by keeping them simple; most have no more than three toppings.Pasta Amore is at 4502 Dawson St. It’s open Mon.-Fri. for lunch and Tues.-Sat. for dinner.

When she was in Grade 10 at New West secondary she fi nished third in javelin at the high school track and fi eld provincials. She started dropping the team sports to concentrate on javelin. The following year she was the fi rst high school girl in B.C. to throw the javelin more than 50 metres.

Enquiries from U.S. colleges soon followed.

“It was kind of over-whelming to think these people wanted to talk to me,” says Krista. “You’re on the phone talking to people who are 40 years old, they’re telling you how to train, what the school is like. You have to snap back and realize this is a big decision.”

Her dad made sure she chose the right courses and maintained her grades.

As her results improved, the pitches from U.S. universities got more serious. She was invited to visit some of them.

“You have to keep your focus on get-ting an education and competing at a high level,” her dad told her.

He advised her to start taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test, a standardized test used by U.S. colleges for admission which can also be taken by Canadian students. Practice tests are available online and students can take the test as many times as they desire to achieve a good score.

He also carefully scrutinized the offers to ensure they delivered every-thing they promised, like all expenses

including medical and incidentals.“You better know what the scholar-

ship entails,” says Doug, the girls basketball coach at NWSS. “Will it cover medical expenses if you get injured, what happens if you get homesick? You’ve got to know how long the schol-arship is for, what it covers.”

Improving the oddsLalji knows how tough it can be for a

B.C. student to land an athletic scholar-ship. Of the 3,500 kids playing high school football in the province, he says only three or four might get an offer, and that’s in a “fabulous year.”

So he works hard to improve the odds for his players. That work starts as soon as kids enter his program, identifying the ones who might have potential, then putting football and academic plans in place to get them to the level they need to achieve a scholarship. He hooks them up with trainers and extra coaching to improve aspects of their game like speed and agility. He monitors their grades and attendance records. He meets with the players’ parents and counsellors to ensure they’re taking the right courses.

“Everyone gets caught up in the football aspect, it’s hard to make sure a player understands the academic part is just as important,” says Lalji. “A certain amount of babysitting is required.”

It also requires a lot of phone calls, emails and sweet talk.

Other than hockey, U.S. colleges don’t expend much time, expense or energy rooting out student athletes from north of the border. Canadian kids have to get

their attention.Lalji estimates he can make 200 phone

calls to his extensive list of football con-tacts at American universities, send out 400 emails and spend up to 100 hours compiling highlight videos and testimo-nials to pitch a prospect.

“It’s extensive the amount of contact you have to make,” says Lalji. “The stars have to align because nobody down there is going to wait for you.”

Forging aheadAfter taking a few weeks to regroup

from her setback, Rowe forged ahead with renewed determination. She enrolled at the Coquitlam Learning Centre to upgrade her math. She went back to the track.

“It was hard for me to grasp that I’d have to go back to high school,” says Rowe. “I had to get over it. I needed to get a scholarship. I needed to run to keep my sanity.”

When she attained the level of math required for admission to a Division II school, she started doing more research, quickly narrowing her choices to Colorado Mesa University and another school in Minnesota. A visit to the CMU campus in Grand Junction, Colo., last spring sealed the deal. In June, she signed a letter of intent and in Septem-ber she’ll begin her post-secondary studies and competition at CMU.

“That was an eye-opener,” she says of her experience. “It’s not as easy as it seems. There’s a huge difference between getting a scholarship and accepting a scholarship.”

Athletes chase scholarshipsCONTINUED FROM PAGE A3

WOODWARD

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERDespite not having a track, or even a track team, at her high school, Burnaby Mountain, Whitney Rowe managed to fi nish second in the 100 metres at the 2010 high school provincial championships and earned an athletic scholarship to Long Island University in Brooklyn, N.Y. But her dream of attending school in the U.S. was almost derailed when she learned she didn’t have the proper academic prerequisites.

Ancient sites in path of South Fraser Perimeter Road

By Jeff NagelBLACK PRESS

An archaelogical dig is now underway at the Glenrose Cannery site – one of B.C.’s oldest and richest pre-contact locations – just before the South Fraser Perimeter Road paves over it.

The activity near the south end of the Alex Fraser Bridge has sparked fresh criticism from those who think an ancient treasure trove is being sacrifi ced for the sake of a truck freeway.

“I think there’s a lot to learn there before it’s capped with a highway,” says amateur archeolo-gist Tony Hardie, who questions why work to recover artifacts didn’t start much sooner and wants authorities to disclose what’s found and where it ends up.

The North Delta artifact dealer has been examining this stretch of the Fraser River for 30 years – ever since he found a stone bead on the beach at age 10 and was drawn into a lifelong exploration of B.C.’s ancient history.

Hardie knows authorities see him as a looter.Just a few weeks ago he plucked an ancient

fl uted blade from the eroding riverbank.Hardie says he went to great lengths to turn it

over to provincial offi cials.The shoreline turns up such fi nds continually,

without excavating.“The tide goes in and out there twice a day and

it’s like a big shaker, it just washes everything out,” Hardie said.

“When somebody picks up an artifact that’s eroding out of a beach, that’s preservation. That’s a whole different ball game than someone out looting graves and trying to profi t from artifacts.”

Dozens of people walk the beach and take what they fi nd, he said, noting it’s been illegal under B.C.’s Heritage Conservation Act since the 1970s to collect or sell such items. (Dealing in artifacts found earlier is allowed).

The Glenrose and nearby St. Mungo sites have been extensively studied.

Aboriginal artifacts discovered there are stored at UBC’s Museum of Anthropology and date back up to 9,000 years.

Some objects have emerged extremely well-preserved from wet sites in which organic mate-rial such as wood is very slow to disintegrate.

Advocates argue the area should be a national or even world heritage site.

Local First Nations bands, far from opposing the perimeter road, have signed onto a monitor-ing agreement with the province to guide the archaeology work and receive compensation and jobs for their band members.

The Tsawwassen, Musqueam, Katzie, Kwantlen and Kwikwetlem have all signed on.

When Hardie saw the digging begin in late August and started photographing the work from a sidewalk, he was threatened by a security guard from a Musqueam-run fi rm.

The secrecy, Hardie said, troubles him.He and others believe the government, desper-

ate to build the perimeter road and advance its port expansion agenda, has bought First Nations’ silence to minimize the bad optics.

Geoff Freer disputes that and is anything but ashamed of Victoria’s plans.

The province’s director of the $1.1-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road project said “mil-lions of dollars” are being spent on extensive safeguards to protect the archeological values along the 40-kilometre corridor.

“When this project is done, these sites are going to be very recognized and much better protected from degradation and looting than before,” he said. “Nobody’s happy with the past and how the area’s been treated.”

‘Alignment shifted’For too long, he said, looters have been able

to hide in the brush, dig holes and haul out arti-facts. Clearing, fencing and securing the area is changing that – as well as the placing of rip-rap atop some riverfront areas that were favoured by illegal diggers.

Freer said the perimeter road’s alignment has been shifted to avoid 90 per cent of the key archeological sites. Instead, the road will run largely where houses were before and it will generally be built atop existing soils, without digging into them and excavating anything.

In one area beneath the Alex Fraser, the road will be elevated to bridge over a critical site and minimize the disturbance.

Some supporting columns will be dug deeply into the ground and Freer said it is mainly in those areas that the archeologists, including First Nations workers, will be closely analyzing what emerges from the soil.

The aim of the archeology work is not to fi nd and remove artifacts, he said, but to monitor the work along the entire corridor to ensure objects or remains are properly and respectfully handled if they do turn up.

EVAN SEAL/BLACK PRESSNorth Delta resident Tony Hardie has been monitoring a stretch of land along the Fraser River near the 10400 block of River Road for 30 years. The area is home to two important archeological sites and is rich with ancient artifacts.

“The general approach, as much as possible, is to leave everything on the site intact and not disturb it,” he said. “If for some reason the experts think things should be moved, we work with First Nations. Anything that leaves the site would go to UBC, to the Museum of Anthropology, which works closely with the Musqueam.”

The historic Glenrose Cannery building itself is now mostly dis-mantled, but that was a decision of Port Metro Vancouver, which owns the structure, not the province.

The transportation ministry’s plans for the site include creating a First Nations-designed interpretation and recognition area with information signboards explaining the history and signifi cance.

Musqueam offi cials who are taking the lead on the monitoring work declined to comment. Freer said both he and First Nations are reluctant to publicly discuss the sites, especially exact locations, for fear it would lead to more looting.

Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) Chief Kim Baird said her com-munity signed the impact and ben-efi ts agreement with the province because it delivered the best pos-sible scenario to minimize further disruption of the sites.

“Ultimately we would love to see all archeological deposits untouched if possible,” she said.

Sections of the route have already been heavily disturbed by decades of home construction, where builders digging basements have turned up artifacts – and worse.

“I’ve seen some pretty terrible things in residential areas,” Baird said. “Lap pools have been allowed in people’s backyards and they’ve taken out human remains to do that. I’ve seen the most terrible things you can imagine. It’s sickening.”

That’s a key reason why First Nations want any roadwork done sensitively and with respect, she said. “Most people view aboriginal sites as prehistoric and therefore not as meaningful as digging up a cemetery or something like that. Just because it’s not readily seen and not highly visible doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a huge amount of cultural signifi cance.”

Activists opposing construction of

the road as a “climate crime” have held up the ancient sites as another reason it shouldn’t proceed. But no elected aboriginal leader has joined them in trying to block the SFPR.

A legal challenge that seeks to halt work on the perimeter road because it would plow through sacred burial grounds was fi led in May by two aboriginal people.

But the plaintiffs are a Sioux Cree member with no local roots and a TFN member who is a longtime opponent of Baird who failed to block the Tsawwassen treaty or win elected offi ce in the TFN govern-ment. It’s not the fi rst time Baird

has been on the opposite side of the barricades from the protesters.

When Victoria and Ottawa were gung-ho to develop the Pacifi c Gateway, Baird used the TFN’s strategic position as leverage to negotiate her people’s historic treaty, which critics lashed as a sell-out of scarce farmland to

abet the port expansion plans.Baird is aware of the accusation

now that the perimeter road deal is a payoff that makes First Nations complicit in the destruction of their own heritage.

“That’s a naive view of the reality of trying to address development in an urban area,” she responds. “We’re constantly faced with these sorts of challenges.”

Local bands receive an unending blizzard of development referrals in which they’re expected to quickly indicate if a proposal might impact archaeological sites, the local environment or otherwise infringe aboriginal rights in their traditional territories.

“We’re very diligent in trying to do the best we can for those sites against all odds – especially in the Lower Mainland, which is constantly under development pressure.”

Unlike private property, the government-led SFPR on what becomes Crown land allowed much more scope and leverage for bands to secure what they felt was appro-priate, Baird said.

“Is it perfect? Maybe not. But sometimes you have to deal with less than perfection,” Baird said.

“Most of these projects succeed. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending it won’t happen hasn’t been an effective approach for us in the past.”

BEST BUY - CORRECTION NOTICEPlease be advised that the following errors have occurred in our August 26 - Sept 1, 2011 flyer. On page 32: the promo "Add an HP 27-inch LED Monitor" does not have the right product advertised. The item advertised should have been an Acer LED monitor (WebCode: 10170345) for $269.99, Save $110. Please note the HP monitor (WebCode: 10161418) is actually priced at $499.99. Also, on page 32 and 22, the $200 value for the "Xbox 360 250GB Console with 5 Games and Gift Card Bundle" (WebCode: 10177533) is not valid as the games included are digital content and not hard copies. On page 9: the HP TouchPad Wi-Fi Tablet (WebCode : 10173116/7) is no longer available for purchase in-store and online as the tablet is Sold Out. Please note that it is also a discontinued item so we will not be obtaining anymore stock. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

FUTURE SHOP - CORRECTION NOTICEOn page 13 of the August 26 flyer, please note that the advertised price of $49.99 save $50 applies only to the Sandisk 8GB Professional SDHC Memory Card (WebID: 10168052), NOT the 16GB card, as previously advertised. As well, please note that the Motorola TX500 Bluetooth® Car Speakerphone (WebID: 10172504) advertised on pullout page 6 (pullout page 7 in Thunder Bay) of the August 26 flyer DOES NOT have an FM transmitter, as previously advertised. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.


By Laura ThorneCONTRIBUTOR

High school can be an intimidat-ing place for

those entering the halls for the fi rst time. After all, it’s unknown territory, with lots of skyscraper-tall people who somehow seem to know where they are going, all the time. It

isn’t really so daunting – and we have talked to students to prove it. We polled a selection of people so that all future grade 8s can arm themselves with advice.

• Carrying every single book around doesn’t lead to more brains – only an ach-ing back. Fortunately, someone already thought up a solu-tion – the locker. Save yourself the back pain and the chiropractic bill and use it!

• Students are often pushed into lock-ers – on daytime TV. Lockers nowadays are designed so that the only way to get stuck in one is to step into it yourself.

• You will not get lost. It is a new envi-ronment, a new build-ing, but the school will give you a map. Or even two. And by the way, if you do get lost? It doesn’t matter very much. Most teachers remember their days in high school, are not vampires, and will not bite you if you are lost. Still worried? Head to school early and fi nd all your classes ahead of time.

• Contrary to popu-lar misconceptions, older students do not normally pick on younger ones. That story from a cousin

about getting his head stuffed in a toilet? That doesn’t really happen. Nor does “widgeting” (the cruel, rumored-of practice of marking new students’ fore-heads with a Sharpie) or any other fi sh story.

• Getting involved in activities truly does help with making friends. High school sports teams aren’t just for competing; they are a great place to meet people. Or join a club that suits your interest: poster-mak-

ing, debating, raising awareness for what-ever it is you want to raise awareness for…. High schools are teem-ing with clubs.

• A note to quiet people: all the other new students are anxious too. It helps to try to be friendly, and break the ice imposed by nervousness. At the very least, it is a good idea to attempt conver-sation with others in your classes. Not only will it help you if you miss an assignment,

you might meet some-one you like!

• The thing about high school is… home-work. It comes like bad weather, when it’s least wanted. The best thing to do is learn how to manage time and deal with it in the younger grades, so when the real storms hit, they won’t seem half as bad. Get an agenda (most schools provide them) and do the hardest, most dif-fi cult things fi rst.

• Sleep is very important, both for growth and all-round happiness. Teenag-ers tend to stay up all hours but it is an unhealthy practice. Health Canada stud-ies suggest that the teenager needs eight or nine hours of sleep nightly, and most get less than that. Getting more hours in bed will improve grades, mood levels, energy… help-ing the happiness of not only the teen but also the people who live with them!

• You might want to keep a journal to help document this time in your life. Whether it is writing rants, bubbling about a new friend or starting a story, verbal vomit should be saved. It will grow in value later – journals are like cheese, they improve with age.
